Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 24 hours. Tight mooring for one 60' boat. Easy to get into, hard to get out of, due to current. A very peaceful spot, though.

Wikipedia has a page about Swan's Neck
Swans are birds of the family Anatidae within the genus Cygnus. The swans' closest relatives include the geese and ducks. Swans are grouped with the closely related geese in the subfamily Anserinae where they form the tribe Cygnini. Sometimes, they are considered a distinct subfamily, Cygninae. There are six living and many extinct species of swan; in addition, there is a species known as the coscoroba swan which is no longer considered one of the true swans. Swans usually mate for life, although "divorce" sometimes occurs, particularly following nesting failure, and if a mate dies, the remaining swan will take up with another. The number of eggs in each clutch ranges from three to eight.
